In the Cricket World Cup 2023 encounter, South Africa won the toss and chose to bat against Bangladesh in Mumbai. Aiden Markram is leading the team in place of the injured Temba Bavuma. Both sides made one change each, with Shakib Al Hasan returning for Bangladesh and Lizaad Williams replacing Lungi Ngidi for South Africa.
South Africa has had a strong tournament, sitting third in the points table with a chance to move to the second position with a win. On the other hand, Bangladesh has struggled, securing just one win in four matches and coming into this game after three consecutive losses.
While South Africa appears to be the favorite, both teams face their own challenges. Temba Bavuma is expected to return for South Africa, likely replacing Reeza Hendricks. Bangladesh is missing their premier pacer, Taskin Ahmed, due to a shoulder injury, and they hope for Shakib Al Hasan’s return, depending on his fitness.
The encounter promises to be an exciting match, with South Africa’s strong form and Bangladesh’s desire to return to winning ways.
